This is a MUST STOP destination if you want to see how a lock and dam work on the Mississippi River. CALL AHEAD to make sure the museum is open and they are giving tours of the lock and dam. If you go there anyways, (still advised) ...you will find HEATED BATHROOMS THAT ARE OPEN....even when EVERY RESTAURANT IN TOWN WONT LET YOU USE THEIR RESTROOMS.
Great area to explore! Walk, bike, run, fish or just have a picnic. The Lock and Dam is a really cool thing to take a tour of. Kids really like it! You can exercise on the bike trail/levee that goes right along the parking area. Ample parking with restrooms next to the lot. Safe and clean.
Stay away. It's all mine
Nice place along the Mississippi to access the MCT trail or just relax and rest lunch while watching the boats traverse the river, birds in the air and water and people fishing. Great spot for checking out nesting eagles.
Great museum very informative cool place to watch the barges go through the locks
